Wow! These were great! A non-traditional take on a cocktail meatball. This is certainly something different for the buffet table. Loved them! The pineapple along with the sauce really makes these little meatballs the star of Oscar party night! These were the first thing gone at our party. Thanks Sue L for a sure keeper and winner at the buffet table! 1000 stars!
